FAQs About Urban Planning Staff Augmentation

What’s the cost to hire Urban Planning developers through smartbrain.io?

Pricing starts at a transparent, all-inclusive hourly rate that already covers payroll taxes, benefits, hardware and management overhead. You pay only for productive hours worked—no recruiter commissions or hidden mark-ups. Our marketplace benchmarks rates every quarter to remain 15-30 % below U.S. on-site salaries while still attracting senior talent. Ask for a custom quote and you’ll receive a detailed cost projection for each Hire Urban Planner candidate—including projected overtime, optional overtime caps and currency hedging if you pay in USD.

How do you protect IP when we outstaff Urban Planning engineers?

Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA and strict invention-assignment clause. Source code lives in your private repositories; planners access via VPN and SSO. We enforce device encryption, SOC-2 Type II hosting, and Geo-fencing for sensitive data. smartbrain.io remains Employer-of-Record, so any IP created by the Hire Urban Planner talent is automatically transferred to you under U.S. law. Annual third-party audits verify compliance.

Can your Urban Planning developers work in our time zone?

Yes. We maintain a global bench across Americas, EMEA and APAC to guarantee a minimum four-hour daily overlap with your core team. During onboarding we agree on core-hour windows, sprint rituals and escalation paths. If daylight-saving shifts disrupt overlap, we will reallocate or rotate shifts at no extra cost to keep communication real-time.

What contract terms do you offer for augmented Urban Planning talent?

Choose month-to-month, fixed-scope or retainer models. No minimum headcount. Pause, scale or terminate with just 14-days notice. Billing is bi-weekly net-7 to keep cash-flow predictable. All planners remain on smartbrain.io payroll, so you avoid mis-classification risk and regional compliance headaches.

How are candidates vetted before we see a shortlist?

Our 5-stage funnel filters 96 % of applicants. Automated GIS coding tests, scenario-based urban design cases, architecture interviews with ex-Google city-tech leads and soft-skill assessments ensure every Hire Urban Planner presented owns full-stack, stakeholder-facing capability. Only the top 4 % make it to your interview.

What if a planner doesn’t fit after hiring?

Smart replacement guarantee: signal the mismatch within the first 14 days and we’ll swap the Urban Planning developer at zero cost, usually within 48 hours. If no suitable replacement is found, you pay nothing for the disengaged period.

How fast can we start after signing?

Most clients hold their first interview within 48 hours of the discovery call and have a planner pushing code in production the following week. Urgent engagements with existing bench talent can start next business day.
